Re: probiotics for me?

They work, IMHO. My homeopath also said to open the capsule, get a little of the powder on my finger, then dab into LO's mouth if you're trying to make sure

Also -- some non-dairy probiotic sources I can think of are water kefir, and miso soup.

Re: probiotics for me?

Not sure what you're asking here, but you can get dairy-free probiotics for you and your baby if that's what you need. If your baby has thrush, you want to treat baby directly in addition to whatever gets through your milk, for sure.

Re: probiotics for me?

The probiotics are for me. Just wanted to make sure the adult dose didn't have any adverse effects on him. We're not treating anything, just miss my yogurt & cheese & so does my body, everything just works better & brain does too when there's not a lot of extra toxins floating around! Completely forgot about miso! & have never heard about water kefir? Would this be sort of like the water that separates from cottage cheese, mozzarella? thanks for the info!

Absolutely no adverse effects! It's basically harmless. They make it for babies too, and the dosage isn't all that diff't. I think your body just passes what you don't use.
